Freya's POV
Despite anticipating this moment and even desiring this outcome, a profound sadness weighs down my chest.
Mack Ben's face refuses to leave my thoughts. Our acquaintance has been brief, yet every nuance of his expressions, each gentle smile, and his elegant composure have burned themselves into my memory with startling clarity.
A wave of melancholy washes over me. Noticing the late hour, I force myself to gather my composure, collect my belongings, and make my way to the hospital.
The upcoming battle with the Colby Family looms ahead like another grueling war. I cannot afford to waste precious energy dwelling on matters of the heart right now. Time will have to heal these wounds gradually.
When I reach the hospital, I discover that Waylon Colby and Cecilia Felix have been released ahead of schedule. Jasper Tristan's influence must have secured their early freedom.
Lila Colby's condition is exactly as they described - devastating.
